TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	41ms	421ms	40
7d	100%	100%	25ms	421ms	850
30d	94.84%	94.84%	18ms	421ms	1205

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	0.00%	0.00%	180ms	230ms	20
7d	0.00%	0.00%	183ms	254ms	232

DNSSEC Validation Metrics

Registry Agreement Spec 6

DNSSEC is required by the Registry Agreement (Specification 6) but is not part of the Spec 10 SLA. We monitor DNSSEC validation independently.

Period	Validation Rate	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	19ms	19ms	6
7d	100%	19ms	19ms	168
30d	100%	19ms	19ms	242

Unlike Spec 10 services, DNSSEC has no formal availability SLA. Thresholds shown are operational guidelines.
